Next Of Kin. What Chimpanzees Have Taught Me About Who We Are.
(Roger Fouts)
Through the story of a family of chimpanzees, trapped in its destiny as research subjects, Fouts explains us extensively, clearly, the learning, development of language, scientific method, and scientific ethics principles. Ours evolutionary way shared with other animals, despite of human being?s blind egomania, which impedes us to see beyond ourselves, is seen extensively reflected in this book.
Roger Fouts carries us of the hand through various parallel roads: its formation in the family farm, the encounter of love for all life during its university life, the difficult road by family, personal, and academic beating, its brilliant scientific career, its moral complications with relation to the validity ethics of its scientific investigation? and it more marvelous, the clear perception that the intelligence and love they are not exclusive property of the human being.
Fouts is a scientist whose works have been published in the highest levels of disclosure, along 30 years of scientific work. Glory and fame did not close their eyes to animals´ suffering that are subject to investigation, for benefit of humans, many times in the hands of sick scientists that use science as pretext to carry out the cruelest acts.
This book is extensively recommendable for students of high school, university and graduate, and perhaps also for veteran researches, to take a lesson of humility set in front of its subjects of research.
